Abstract: Thirty microsatellite markers with medium or high polymorphisms were selected to detect the genetic diversity of 8 indigenous chicken breeds in Sichuan. According to the allele frequencies of 30 microsatellite sites, mean heterozygosity (H), polymorphism information content (PIC) and DA genetic distances were calculated for each breeds. The results showed that 24 of 30 microsatellite sites were highly polymorphic, so the 24 microsatellite markers were effective markers for analysis of genetic relationship among chicken breeds. The mean heterozygosity of 8 chicken breeds was all over 0.5. The highest was the Luning chicken (0.681), and the lowest was the Jiuyuan Dark chicken.The high diversity of 8 chicken breeds might be caused by the traffic obstruction(geographic isolation). The results of the heterozygosity were consistent with that of PIC. UPGMA tree was completed through analysis of DA genetic distances. Emei Dark chicken, Miyi chicken, Luning chicken and Jiuyuan Dark chicken were the first group: Miyi chicken and Luning chicken were grouped firstly, then Emei Dark chicken were grouped with them in shorter time distances, and Jiuyuan Dark chicken were grouped with them at last. Shimiancao Ke chicken Xingwen Silky chicken and Muchuan Silky were the second group: Xingwen Silky chicken and Muchuan Silky were grouped firstly, and then Shimiancao Ke chicken was grouped with them. Liangshangya Ying chicken had its own branch. The result of UPGM was consistent with the genesis, breeding history, differentiation and location of 8 chicken breeds.
